Sounds like enough people rose up against those particular injustices to cause EA to actually do something about them. The team has announced a full list of changes for a coming patch that will hit both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions on Monday. In addition to the above hassles, the PS3 version will get custom soundtracks and the off-board controls are getting tweaked. Cool! Too bad I already finished the game and won't really benefit from any of these changes...
Here's the complete list:
- Improve responsiveness of off-board controls, modified left stick behavior to improve feel of off-board movement
- Eliminate scoring exploit for Hippie Jump 180s in multiplayer Spot Battle
- Eliminate the wipeout exploit with off-board and the Superdude trick
- Fixed mute and stale grab tricks to use proper hand when performed in conjunction with a hand gesture
- Fix the occasionally popping of visual indicators (sign-ups, arrows, etc)
- Added support for custom soundtracks for the PS3
- Face and Body settings will now load properly in saved replays
- Character models will be in high detail when viewing a replay
- Visual indicators (sign-up icons/arrows) are no longer visible in replays and videos
- Remove the confirmation pop-up when retrying a challenge
- Reduce potential for pedestrians to spawn in an active challenge location
- Modified "Can you spell Girl?" challenge so the player starts with the lead
- Remove the 3,2,1 countdown when retrying a film challenge
- All Thrasher challenges unlock properly in the career progression
- When starting an Own the Spot via the Challenge Map, the player's session marker is automatically set for them
- Updated the online mini-map so skaters appear as the same color indicated in the player HUD
- Improved quality of character images generated for display on skate.reel web profiles
- EXP is no longer awarded for players that don't attempt a trick during a Ranked game of S.K.A.T.E.
- Modified deathrace intro sequences to eliminate camera clipping
- Online Freeskate Activities (Survival) - Increase the tolerance for ‘skating too slowly' while in the air
- Online Spot Battle/Hall of Meat - Spectators can again trigger hand gestures during another player's turn
